Masseria Altemura 2005 Sasseo Primitivo (Salento)

Country: Italy / Sasseo
Variety: Primitivo Southern Italy
Winery: Masseria Altemura / Salento

Smoky cola and plum flavors feature some intriguingly briary notes, but also veer toward prune and cooked fruit. Tannins are soft, but the wine is surprisingly tart on the finish. With its crisp acidity, expect it to pair well with tomato-based sauces.
